First-Past-the-Post produces distorted election results with more than two parties. We need to modernize our voting system. Either Proportional Representation (true voting) or Ranked Ballot Voting will work. Which do you prefer?

According to Harper’s
2009 budget,
his first step added up to $44-billion/yr in reckless tax cuts:

To put this in perspective, Harper blew threw the $14-billion Liberal surplus he inherited, then blasted a $30-billion/yr hole in the budget.

Fiscal straight-jacket

Harper’s disgusting agenda is to put any future government in a fiscal straight-jacket.

If they attempt to reverse the tax cuts, the Cons can raise the alarm: “tax and spend socialists want to raise your taxes!”
If they do nothing, any spending promises will amount to nothing more than token measures.

About Me

As a non-partisan electoral reformer, I support both of the main democratic voting systems: Proportional Representation (true voting) and Ranked Ballot Voting. Either system will ensure an actual majority is represented in government and the real will of the people is carried out. It's up to Canadians to decide which system is best. Together we can make it happen.
